[Pharo-project] PPFlattenParser fix
by Ross Boylan June 15, 2010

June 15, 2010

The original parseOn: code failed for me with a FileStream in the Pharo 1.0 image. The last line gets the collection of the stream, and this is nil (or something that didn't work in the invoked method). I've attached a revision that works for me. Ross

[Pharo-project] Unwind errors: worse in 1.1?
by Schwab,Wilhelm K June 15, 2010

June 15, 2010

I have long intermittently seen errors with walkbacks titled "Unwind error during termination." They might be more common in 1.1, and worse, I am now unable to close the offending notifiers/debuggers. I also tried "close all debuggers" without success. Bill

[Pharo-project] Help menu disappeared [WAS] [ANN] Pharo-1.1-11400-rc1dev10.06.1
by Torsten Bergmann June 14, 2010

June 14, 2010

Hi Stef, >do you think that all the good energy that we put on pharo can be summarized >that way? No, why do you think so? Please dont get off-topic. We talk about a menu here - nobody lamented about Pharo in general. Please reread what I wrote: "Moving menues around is throwing eggs onto you end users" I think it was clear from my mail that moving KNOWN menues around from time to time is IMHO a bad idea. Maybe you disagree, but I'm still keep this opinion. So I dislike the idea of leaving it for now and MOVE the Help menu LATER (as Adrian suggested) since this is what confuses people, especially since user help is something really important. We can discuss it now, keep it or fix it. So we can avoid that moving menues from time to time will lead to irritation. >We waited a bit until we got more convinced that we should move it Second time you write "we". For me it is still not clear who discussed it (you and Adrian?) and where and which arguments lead to the decision. Please tell us so we can also understand your point of view.

I've fixed old underscore assignments. The latest development version is available at: http://squeaksource.blueplane.jp/SIXX.html Currently, I'm integrating XMLPullParser patches, so the source is not so well organized. But all assignments are now ANSI-style anyway. ;-) Best regards, Schwab,Wilhelm K <bschwab(a)anest.ufl.edu> wrote: > Masashi, > > I have been trying to do some testing of Pharo 1.1 through a Seaside 3.0 daily image. One of the first things I load is SIXX. Pharo has been addressing underscore assignment problems, and the default is now to treat them as syntax errors, and one was identified in SixxAutoMorphMemento class>>release. I have also noted them in the #instDict and #instDict: accessors. > > It would be helpful if you could change the underscores to := for future releases.

+2 for Laurent/Mariano and -1 for Stef here: Why I agree with Laurent and Mariano: - every app has a help menu - in almost any case such a help menu is at the top level of menus/toolbars/context menues - if one needs help then it should be easily accessible since it means the end user is lost and needs guidance Why I disagree with Stef: - currently "Help" is really HIDDEN under "System" (it's not obvious to a newbie, I tried with a friend today) - having it under "System" is too technical - think of any kind of end user help than (technical) system help (If you deploy a commercial app based on Pharo you still have "Help" but no "System" menu) - it is not a menu with a one item since AFAIK it could be extended and the idea was to place also ProfStef under it (when loaded in Pharo dev) or other help related stuff I understand we need to be careful about long menus, but then I would rather see "Debug" moved under "System" since it's a rare use case compared to looking for help. So I would vote for having it always as the last entry in the middle section of the world menu: Monticello Browser _____________ - Tools - Windows - System -- Debug -- ... - Whatever 1 - Whatever 2 - Help -- Help Contents -> full Browser -- ProfStef -> when loaded -- ... -- About -> Info dialog _____________ Save Save as... That's easy recognizable even when the menu is extended/changed. I would also place the "About" as the last item under "Help" since this is also a typical place for it. This discussion may not be important to most of us but usability is key to acceptance and success. My 0,02â¬ Bye T. -- GMX DSL: Internet-, Telefon- und Handy-Flat ab 19,99 EUR/mtl.

Hi folks. There is a new Pharo 1.1 rc2 image for beta testing. It is based in PharoCore rc2 11400. A little remark is that this is the first release candidate, not the second one. There was a problem when building the PharoCore rc1 and thus, we used PharoCore RC2. To be concistent we call it Pharo 1.1 rc2 to this image. We are getting closer to the stable release of Pharo 1.1 so we would really appreaciate any kind of feedback. Use it, load your packages and applications, run tests, etc. The download link is: https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/27159/Pharo-1.1-11400-rc2dev10.06.… Cheers Mariano
